Community
Raise Money For a Nonprofit
I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

Use a Reusable Mug
If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.
Food
Choose Reusable Food Storage
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Food
Use Reusables at Work
I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.
Community
Become a Recycling Pro
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
Family
Swap the Snacks
I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityWhat have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?
Caitlin Pace 7/06/2022 1:14 PMGlass is not acceptable in our bin at home so we have to take it to the community bins. That is one of the most difficult parts of recycling for me. I try to buy eggs & things that are packaged in cardboard instead of styrofoam or plastic because I know cardboard boxes can go in the recycle bin -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHow can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?
